If you've always wanted to straighten your teeth but are concerned about wearing braces, Invisalign may be the solution for you. These clear aligners provide a removable orthodontic alternative, eliminating the need to adjust your diet or lifestyle. They have a negligible impact on your life while producing spectacular outcomes. At Michael Lum DDS, we've helped thousands of adults and teens smile with more confidence after their Invisalign treatment plans, from crooked teeth and gaps to crowded and even overlapping teeth.
Invisalign is a cutting-edge teeth-straightening system that employs digital technology and orthodontic techniques to straighten teeth. It works by using a series of aligners, each of which moves your teeth by a little amount. When one set of teeth has progressed as far as they can, the next set is swapped in.
Invisalign braces are custom-made and contoured to meet the individual's teeth shape and needs. They are used to treat moderately crowded teeth and to address moderate bite complexities. They are also utilized for persons who have mild spacing difficulties. During your treatment, you will receive numerous versions of the Invisalign aligners. Invisalign is composed of acrylic or clear plastic, and the major advantage is that it can be quickly removed while you eat, brush, and floss.
These Invisalign aligners will last for a few weeks, after which you may be fitted with a fresh set of aligners that are tighter than the prior version. Because they are made of clear plastic, they appear invisible to the human eye and can be more comfortable than metal braces. The length of treatment is determined by how far your teeth have been misaligned and how far your bite quotient is off. It normally takes between 12 and 24 months to get your problem fixed.
Invisalign clear aligners are made of flexible, BPA-free plastic and are custom-designed to offer gentle, constant pressure to move your teeth into precise alignment.
Instead of having to work around brackets and wires, simply take your aligners out then floss and brush your teeth. No Dietary Restrictions
There's no need to be concerned about what you can and cannot eat! Simply take out your clear aligners to eat or drink, wash your teeth, and reinstall them to continue your progress.
